StubArt1 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Hi, Recently just got my HX Stomp and am really enjoying it. My desired setup is having the stomp replace my amps preamp. However running the stomps mono output into my amps fx loop return doesn’t enable me to use the master volume on my amp (So i can’t get it that loud). Is there any way round this with cabling or other methods? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Some amps disable the master volume control when the FX return is in use, but there's nothing plugged into the front end, or coming out of the FX send. Many moons ago I had an old Peavey Bandit which worked like that. If that's the case, there's nothing you can do about it, and the Stomp's master volume is it... if you're running out of headroom that way, you'll have to boost your levels at the output block. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any way round this with cabling or other methods? When a master volume is disabled it will effectively be "FULL".... having access to it would not turn up the amp any further. The volume control on the HX becomes your master volume. If the HX is not producing enough volume check the output global settings and change it from "instrument level" to "line level". That should ensure you have enough headroom with the volume control on the HX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
